The chest holds the breasts. In general, the breast cancers affect most of the women in the world. Breast cancer develops as a result of abnormal growth in the cells in the inner breast, or due to some abnormal changes produced in the tissues connecting the breast.

The breasts are made up of fat, glands and soft tissues. In addition to them lobes are present, which are further divided into lobules and they extend up to the milk glands. Very small ducts running from tiny glands are connected together and end at the nipple. It is in these ducts the breast cancer occurs, and this is called ductal cancer.

Cancers occurring in the lobules are called lobule cancer. It has very less probability when compared to the above mentioned one.

The best treatment therapies for the breast cancer are;

Surgery- it is the final treatment on the breast cancer performed by the medical practitioners depending upon the stage of the disease.

Chemotherapy- it is a systematic treatment. This treatment disturbs the whole system of the body. The advantage about this therapy is the drugs used in this method; they interact with the rapidly dividing cells and thus destroying them. The demerits are, it affects the whole body cell system, normally many cells in our body tend to divide rapidly, but unfortunately the drugs destroy them too.

Radiation therapy- The radiations are passed on the breast and the cancer cells are destroyed. It is easy to tolerate and produces no side effects.

Alternative therapies for breast cancers are; relaxation, meditation, megavitamins and positive image for the patients. There are some herbal treatments available too.
